Our inspiring author, Christine Thelker hosted an event on the 12th of August 2020 from 4 pm to 8 pm (local time) at Elk’s Hall #45 in Vernon, British Columbia where she launched her book, For This I am Grateful. The event was attended by her acquaintances and her readers among others. It remained largely successful as the author managed to sell more than a hundred copies of her book. She also interacted with her fans and signed copies for more than a dozen eager readers. For This I am Grateful is the autobiography of Christine Thelker who was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 55. This wonderful book tells readers about the struggles a person with dementia has to go through. It recounts the events long before she had dementia—she worked in a Dementia care center earlier—and how, after her diagnosis, did she plan her journey, with the help and support of Dementia Alliance International, towards a more purposeful life. It talks about the stigmas and discriminations she has faced, and that woefully, all people with dementia still face almost daily. For This I am Grateful is an uplifting book for those along with their families who go through any form of impairment or sickness in their lives. At the same time, it is an enlightening read for healthy individuals. Christine Thelker is a 60-year-old writer and activist for people with dementia. She was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 55. She spends her time writing, gardening, and visiting her loved ones. She is well received for her sense of humor, her uplifting spirit, and her cordial nature. She currently lives in Vernon BC, Canada. The life Christine is living proves that dementia is not a barrier to a more fulfilling life.
